About thirty four members of the Pho
neer Hook and Ladder company assem-
bled last evening at their quarters on
Eddy street. Bills amounting to nearly
$500 were audited and allowed. The
semi annual reports OF the secretary and
treasurer proved the company to be sound
financially, and the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Foreman,
l.. w. Warlaumont; first assistant fore
man, John Nolan; second assistant fore
man, A. ID. Kelley; secretary, Ed Law
Ter, treasurer, Joseph Dillman; board OF
trustees, T. w. Rutledge. Geo. II. Jen-
nings, w. w. Jeffrey, l.. Kabis, A. d.
Kelley. Secretary f. Lawler was ten
dered n vote of thanks for efficient serv-
ices rendered as an officer of the company.
Steps were taken, before a~djourning, to
have the house neatly carpetcd. When
last heard from the Pioneer boys were
having an enthusiastic time over the re.
suit of their election and harmonious
meeting.

Last week Messrs. p. Bergersen and c.
Channel left for Denver to participate in
shooting match, being invited by some OF
Denver's shooters. Upon their arrival,
for some reason or other the Denver
shooters refused to shoot. This much
disappointed the Cheyennites, who said
they were willing to shoot a match with
any two men in Denver for from $3.50 to
$500 a side, and a challenge was inserted
in a Denver paper to that effect a few
days ago. Yesterdays Tribme-R Republican
contained the following in reply:
DENVER, Jan. 1.-The challenge
which appeared in to-day's issue of the
Republican to shoot fifty birds each, two
men on a side, Nottingham Rules, COM
ing from Cheyenne and signed W. G.
Channel and P. Bergerscn, is accepted
by Denver. However, guns to be Ameri-
can standard ten inch guage or less.
"Wil write full particulars tomorrow
Jan. :, stating time and place.
y. S. SEDAN"
AS both Bergersen and Channell are
excellent shots, the Denver men will have
to rustic, and a lively match with good
scores may be expected. The match will
take place within thirty days.

a CURIOUS FIRE.
Twenty-SiX Hundred Head OF sheep
Burned to Death in a Corral.

Intelligence reached here last night of
the destruction by fire Of the entire sheep
herd of Mr.. HERBERT, near Tie Siding
night before last.
1t appears that the herder corraled his
sheep, numbering 1900 head, at night
fall, and soon after retired to bed in the
cabin located a short distance from the
corral.
This corral was built Of plank, and
across one end Of it ran large sheds also of
plank. These sheds were covered with
loose hay, and at one end of them, and
very gear the entrance to the corral stood
a large haystack, likewise enclosed by
plank.
On retiring for the night the herder
says that, according to custom. he was
very careful to cover up the fire in his
stove, 50 as to guard against any sparks
which might escape during the night,
finding Judgment in the adjacent haystack,
The herder sept soundly until about .
o'clock in the morning. when he was sud-
denly awakened by the reflection OF fire
through the windows of his cabin.
S~prin9ing from his bed he rushed to
the door and saw that the haystack and
sheds were IL mass of flames. Hurrying
at once to the scene he found his sheep
huddled together in the end of the corral
farthest from the flames. Tearing open
the gate of the corral he dashed into the
smoke shrouded enclosure and endeavorcd
to drive the herd out. but the sheep re-
fused to pass the haystack, which blazed
so fiercely by the gate. Again and again
the herd was started for the gate. and
again and again it refused to run the fiery
gauntlet.
And now the flames had spread to all
portions of the plank enclosure, and the
herder was in the center of a ring of
furious fire. Nothing was left but to
effect his own escape. This he did, and
scorched and breathless watched from n
distance the total consuming of the hay
stack, sheds, corral, and the 1000 head of
sheep.
The sheep all died in a bunch. Hud-
ding together, they burned where they
stood, and the herder will never forget the
stencil of burning wool and flesh, and the
agonized cries Of the tortured animals.
When the conhagration was at last over,
the morning light revealed a heap of
black and smoking cinders as all that re-
manned of the 1900 valuable animals
that had entered the corral the evening
before.
The destroyed sheep belonged to MIR.
Charles HERBERT. For the last year or
two Mr.. HERBERT has been living on his
ranch on Willow creek, about Il mile from
where the catastrophe occurred, but early
this fall he was summoned Fast by the
illness OF his mother, and has been in
Chicago and Omaha ever since. The
scene of the FIRE is about four miles west
Of Tie Siding, and in the near vicinity
OF what is known as DIRTY Woman's
ranch.
Since writing the above We learn that
Mr.. Herbertz returned to his ranch last
evening.
Mr.. Herbertz's many friends sympa-
thize with him IN this cruel loss, and all
must regret the sudden and wholesale de-
struction of valuable property. The total
loss is placed at s7,0O0.-Boomeraag,

y telegram was received in this city
yesterday, by Deputy Sheriff Smalley,
stating that Thomas Whitney had died
at the 4P ranch and requesting that the
coroner be sent up. The deceased was a
gentleman well and tavorably known
in this city, having a large number of
friends who will be sorry to hear of his
death. Mr.. Whitney was a stock inspec-
tor, having been for several years a resi-
dent in the vicinity of Fort Laramie.
Coroner Chafin will probably leave for
the 4P ranch, near Fort Laramie, this
morning.

Is afforded those fast sinking into a con-
dition of hopeless debility. The means
are at hand. In the form of a genial
cordial, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters m
bodies the combined qualities of a blood
fertilizer and depurent, a tonic and an
Alternative. While it promotes digestion
and assimilation, and stimulates appetite,
has the further effect of purifying the life
current and Strengthening the nervous sys-
tenn. As the blood grows richer and
purer by its use, they who resort to this
sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only
vigor, but bodily substance. A healthful
change in the secretion is effected by it,
and that sure and rapid physical decay,
which a chronic obstruction of the func-
lions of the system produce is arrested.
The prime causes of disease being re-
moved, health is speedily renovated and
vigor restored.

The negro, Chas. Coleman, who was

Lee Yesterday and bound over in the sum
of $500, in default of which he was sent
to the county Jail to await the action of
the grand jury at the February term of
the district court.
There was a rumor afoat yesterday to
the effect hat the Union Pacific shops
were about to close down for want of
work. A LEADER reporter inquired of
Acting Superintendent Bullard as to the
truth of the report, and hat gentleman
said that he had not heard of any such
thing. The report is quite likely un-
founded.
Without making invidious distinctions,
THE LEADER submits the proposition that
Altman, Waid and Haas will as i%ntelli-
gently and faithfully represent the inter-
ests of Chevenne's tax payers in the city
council as their opponents on the Repub-
lican ticket. The five hold-over Demo
cratic members will control the legislation
Of the city during the ensuing year, and it
will be a good plan to give them three
Democratic assistants to divide the re-
s%ponsibility and tighten the duties of the
old members.
